Geophysical Surveys for Mineral Exploration
MT, IP, and resistivity surveys to map deep structures and identify mineralized zones for gold, copper, lithium, and base metals.
How It Works
We handle the full cycle of geophysical work — from survey design to final report. One contractor, clear responsibility, no gaps between stages.
Survey Design
We analyze your geology and targets, select the right methods, plan station layout, and organize logistics. You get a clear plan before fieldwork starts.
Field Acquisition
Experienced crews acquire data using our own NORD equipment. Real-time quality control in the field means no surprises later.
Data Processing
We clean noise, edit, and calibrate data using our proprietary software. The result is a reliable dataset ready for interpretation.
Interpretation & Report
We build 2D/3D models, identify targets, and deliver a clear report with recommendations. Ready for your geologists and drilling decisions.
Methods We Use
We select the method based on your geology, target depth, and budget — not the other way around. Each method solves a specific task.
Magnetotellurics / MT
Deep structural mapping using natural electromagnetic fields. Works from hundreds of meters to tens of kilometers.
Transient Electromagnetics / TEM
Pulsed method for near-surface and mid-depth studies. Effective for ore zones and aquifer mapping.
Tomography
High-resolution cross-sections and 3D models. Used to refine complex geological structures.
Equipment We Use
We work with our own NORD instruments — the same equipment we sell. This gives us full control over data quality and field logistics.
Nord
5-channel MT receiver with real-time processing and Wi-Fi control. Lightweight (1.8 kg), compatible with Phoenix sensors, and built for extreme conditions from -40°C to +85°C
Mary
Compact multi-method resistivity and IP meter controlled via smartphone. Supports VES, IP, SP, and frequency sounding for near-surface surveys up to 200 m
Astra
Portable transmitter for resistivity and IP surveys. Delivers up to 100 W output with programmable frequencies, weighing around 4 kg with battery
IMVP
8-channel receiver for induced polarization (IP) surveys in frequency and time domain. Also supports resistivity and frequency sounding methods
Kamchatka, Russia
MT surveys for gold and copper exploration in Kamchatka. We mapped deep structures and identified new mineralized zones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about methods, depth, and project results.
Answer:
MT (Magnetotellurics) uses natural electromagnetic signals to map deep structures from 500 m to 10+ km. It is ideal for regional targeting and deep basement mapping . IP (Induced Polarization) is an active method that detects disseminated sulfide mineralization in the top 200–300 m. IP is more precise for near-surface ore bodies, while MT is better for deep structural framework .

Answer:
It depends on the method. Our MT/AMT surveys can map structures from 500 m to over 10 km depth, depending on target resistivity and acquisition time . Resistivity/IP surveys typically reach 0–200 m, and deep electrotomography covers 100–500 m. We select the method based on your target depth and geology.

Answer:
Yes. Our equipment is designed for remote field conditions. NORD receivers are lightweight, battery-powered, and can be deployed by a small crew. We have experience in Arctic, tropical, and high-altitude environments, including projects in Yakutia, Taimyr, and South America.

Answer:
We use real-time quality control during acquisition. Our NORD system allows field crews to monitor data quality via smartphone or laptop, so problems are identified immediately—not weeks later. This reduces the need for repeat measurements and ensures a reliable dataset for interpretation.

Answer:
You receive a final report with 2D/3D resistivity models, identified targets, and clear recommendations for drilling or further exploration. All raw and processed data are delivered in standard formats, so your team can review and use the results independently.
